    Schefflera sp.? Those orange berries look like the fruits.

    agreed, those berries are the fruit. cool plant and easy to grow from cuttings.

    does look like Schefflera arboricola,dwarf umbrella tree, which is becoming invasive in Durban according to Pooley’s Tree Book by Richard Boon. So dont start growing it from cuttings please!
